Air Purification

COVID-19 cases fell across 81 nursing homes fitted with new air purification technology, highlighting how air quality interventions can support infection control measures, researchers say.

Installing medical grade air purification technology on one floor of a Pennsylvania senior living community resulted in a 40% relative reduction in healthcare-associated infections.

The devices also keep up to 90% of infectious airborne particles from entering a neighboring room, researchers said.

Participants who used air purifiers with active HEPA and carbon filters had improved markers of heart health. This included a 25% increase in heart rate variability, investigators say.
